Fond memories of being a 17-year-old fan eagerly awaiting the new Star Wars movies, and suddenly finding yourself becoming a Jedi Knight in the first person. Between two spectacular (for this era) FMV sequences.

Jedi Knight was released 28 years ago, and it feels like it was yesterday. 🥰

I would so love if a national patron of the arts program became a thing everywhere. Culture deserves it, artists deserve it, this world is a shit and things like this directly make it better

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."

Incision is an incredible game that nearly wasn't finished. But it was. I spoke to developer Smoothbrain to get insight on his story, which is a tale of stress, burnout, passion, and ultimately triumph. Let's talk about the making of Incision.

Quake is basically a cat simulator:

- Only possible interactions are attacking and rubbing against things

- Can jump ridiculous distances

- Can’t understand anyone

- Compelled to kill everything that moves, for fun

Posted this on Reddit and I've been getting reported for suicide watch all morning. For reference, people do this as a way of saying "kill yourself" without getting banned.

I can't imagine anything more pathetic than getting riled up about trans people literally just existing. Deeply cringe.

The 2002 live album And All That Could Have Been. I knew of them before that, but that was the one that hooked me. After that I listened to The Fragile and bought With Teeth day one. It was all over after that.
